Sure, the one near the tip of 'pu' can even be dropped, especially
when nobody is actively looking at it, if it turns out to be too
much of a nuisance.

Thanks.

So, shall I rewrite my patch on top of master? (not hard, but there will
be a minor conflict to resolve when merging with Peff's cooking series).

I doubt we would want to use the patch verbatim in that message; it
served its purpose well to illustrate that there may be other ways
to address the issue, but I agreed with the flaw in it you pointed
out in the thread [*1*]

I also agree that droppage of S does not have to wait for that
topic.

I am planning to revisit it eventually, but it's fairly low priority.
There is some pretty heavy refactoring in the series, and the PAGER_ENV
bits do not have to be held hostage to that refactoring (they are really
just demonstrating the refactoring).

I'd be OK with doing the moral equivalent for now (perhaps just taking
Junio's proposal[1]), and I can deal with the refactoring later when
re-rolling the Makefile series.

Oops, indeed, I made my patch on top of pu by mistake. Anyway, my patch
can wait for the other series to be merged.

Jeff, you're the author of f82c3ffd862c7, topic jk/makefile in git.git,
marked "expecting a reroll" by Junio. Any news from the series?

The only upstream branch containing this commit is pu.  So this patch
should likely not go anywhere else for now.

Yes, I did see these, but I considered that contrib/examples/ should
remain a snapshot of what the commands used to look like at the time
they were shell scripts.

There's also user-manual.txt:

,
| Basically, the initial version of `git log` was a shell script:
| 
| 
| $ git-rev-list --pretty $(git-rev-parse --default HEAD "$@") | \
|   LESS=-S ${PAGER:-less}
| 
`

that I left intact. I can change them too if people prefer.

Thanks,

There seem to be a few more occurences (git-sh-setup.sh and pager.c):

$ git grep FRSX
Documentation/RelNotes/1.6.5.txt: * mingw will also give FRSX as the default val
Documentation/config.txt:When the `LESS` environment variable is unset, Git sets
Documentation/config.txt:command to `LESS=FRSX less -+S`. The environment tells 
git-sh-setup.sh:: ${LESS=-FRSX}
pager.c:env[i++] = "LESS=FRSX";
perl/Git/SVN/Log.pm:$ENV{LESS} ||= 'FRSX';

Searching for LESS seems to implicate a few more possible candidates in
contrib/examples:

contrib/examples/git-log.sh:LESS=-S ${PAGER:-less}
contrib/examples/git-whatchanged.sh:LESS="$LESS -S" ${PAGER:-less}
